Share a deeply personal revelation. I'll start.

[Orrex]

I can’t trill my R’s. Tried for many years, can’t do it even if my life depends on it.

You?

[Midnight Writer]

1. I can trill my Rs when I am typing but not when I am speaking. Watch this: trrrrill. See, it works fine when I am typing

but not when I speak.

[justaprogressive]

2. I HATE

Hamburger Helper & Sloppy Joes!

[Mad_Dem_X]

66. I can't whistle or blow a bubble with bubble gum.

Never could.

[bamagal62]

77. I can't whistle either!!!

[Walleye]

3. I hate underwear, never wear a bra

[Harker]

5. Neither do I.

My wife does occasionally, though.

[True Dough]

44. You're no

Oscar de la Hoya!

[Harker]

65. More like lead than gold.

[woodsprite]

4. I can't curl my tongue no matter how hard I try! nt

[hlthe2b]

6. I HATE...

LIMA BEANS!!!


Oh, and I can't trill my "R's" either... Fortunately, those in Costa Rica, Bogota, Colombia, parts of Mexico, and many in Puerto Rico do not trill their "R's" either. Then again, my Spanish is bad enough that it wouldn't matter overall.

[SheltieLover]

8. There is no excuse for lima beans.

[SheltieLover]

7. I have the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap.

[Orrex]

13. Same!

First time I ate it, I was sure I was being pranked. meanwhile a coworker mocked me because I “never want to try anything different.”

[SheltieLover]

14. Sucks, because I love Mexican food!

Coworker is an asshat.

I couldn't understand this odd flavor, while most other people rave about cilantro. Yuck.

[mitch96]

25. I get the soap with fresh but not with dried... weird..nt

[SheltieLover]

30. I've never tried dried cilantro

Maybe soap flavor evaporates?

[bamagal62]

79. Same. But the weird thing

Is it did not happen until we ate at some awful
Mexican restaurant at a mall in PA. Before that, cilantro was no problem. But, that salsa at that restaurant tested like dove soap. Now, all cilantro tastes like that to me. It was immediate. Not sure what happened.

[SheltieLover]

83. Weird

[Brainstormy]

9. I can't whistle very well or

piss standing up. These, by the way, are my only concessions to male superiority.

[debm55]

10. I very seldom wear a bra,

[SheltieLover]

15. That's not odd, Deb, it's normal!

[debm55]

18. Thanks SheltieLover. Now I don;t feel so bad.

[SheltieLover]

19. Lol

Bras are like religion & the concepts of heaven & hell: human constructs.

[BigMin28]

57. Medieval torture devices

That is what I call bras.

[hlthe2b]

59. Ditto. Of course, I'm never been a 38 D or the like, but still. Not comfortable--never were...

Of course, I have enough layers underneath that no one can tell, but--ahh, I can. I understand it for those who really need the support, but for those who don't... FREEDOM!

[debm55]

60. Agree

[bluescribbler]

11. I don't eat yogurt, eggplant or avocado.

Never liked any of them.

[Harker]

12. I'm soon to undergo my fourth hernia operation.

I thought it was weird having had two.

[SheltieLover]

16. Yikes!

Healing vibes to you!

[Harker]

20. Thanks!

My first laparoscopic robotic one.

[SheltieLover]

21. Have docs told you why you keep getting hernias?

[Harker]

22. The first two were a couple years apart and on different sides.

Number three, last year, where a previous one finally gave out, upcoming number four near my navel, the first there.

I think I'm done picking up heavy objects, SheltieLover.

[SheltieLover]

23. I would stop picking up heavy things & strengthen core

When is surgery?

[Harker]

24. I can't really exercise my abdomen until six weeks after surgery.

October 1, but I am looking forward to doing so.

[SheltieLover]

31. Best of luck to you!

[Harker]

33. Thanks!

I'm an old hand now.

[SheltieLover]

35. I'll bet!

[ShazzieB]

29. I've had one and now I think I'm going to need another one!

I don't understand what causes these recurrences! So sorry you're up to 4!

[Harker]

32. They're not fun.

The good news is that advancements have generally made the repair work faster, safer, and recovery time is much shorter. Where I was hospitalized for several days as a kid of 10 years, 56 years later it's an outpatient thing.

Here's hoping you never have to challenge my record!

[SheltieLover]

17. I can't tie knot in cherry stem with tongue. Both daughters could.

Mo clue how they figured this out.

[MuseRider]

27. I have na....

..r......
col.............
lep..sy

[Ohiya]

90. I thought it was a trick,

Tie a stem with your hands and put it your mouth when no one is looking. Then put in an untied stem in your mouth when people are watching. Switch the stems around in your mouth with your tongue and voila!

[SheltieLover]

91. Nope. Real deal.

[mitch96]

26. When I was 12 years old I realized I would not last forever...shocking!! nt

[PJMcK]

28. I procrastinate

I'll tell you about it later.

[catbyte]

34. I can't raise only one eyebrow

and 've always wished I could do that. I also suck at driving a stick shift and parallel parking, much to my humiliation.

[mitch96]

40. I can... It's one of my super powers....... love your vid's btw...

?

[Ocelot II]

78. I can, too. I can also cross one eye at a time, and roll my tongue.

[mitch96]

87. " cross one eye at a time"... ya got me there.. I can only do both eyeballs... but I can roll my tongue though..

The trick is to pat your head whilst rubbing your tummy all while lifting one leg and spinning it and simultaneously going up and down with the planted leg.....and not falling down...
m

[3catwoman3]

54. Nor can I. My mom could do that, and when she did, it was...

…the look that made it clear you’d better stop whatever it was you were doing.

Our younger son can also do it. I’m so jealous.

[AllaN01Bear]

36. i learned how to roll my rrrrs frrom the 1960s batman cat woman( lee merryweather ) .

not directly but immitating and practicing. prrractice makes purrrfect. meow.

[CrispyQ]

53. There was that very old Ruffles commercial where cartoon baby sat in its high chair saying "Rrrruffles have rrrridges."

I never noticed trilling r's before that.

[AllaN01Bear]

58. i saw that commercial on over the air tv when i was a young allan01bear. i thought it was cute .

i wonder who the voie over talent was .

[SWBTATTReg]

38. Being profoundly hard of hearing has always been part of my life since birth, and thus, at one time, always

wanted 100% hearing one day, w/ aids or whatever would work.

Now, w/ the loss still, and I'm older, much older, I am glad I don't have perfect hearing. My SO told me that hearing everything isn't always the thing that one wants. They're right. Sometimes (or rather, a lot of times), it's nice to block out things, hearing-wise.

[Oeditpus Rex]

39. I have no vision with my left eye

and my right one's about 20/50 corrected.

[LogDog75]

41. I figured out how to trill my r's

I don't have a problem trilling my r's There was a Ruffles potato chip commercial where the catchphrase was "Ruffles had ridges" said in a mock English voice. If you can imitate the commercial you should have no problem trilling your r's.

[LogDog75]

42. I can turn my eyelids inside out

Started doing this as a kid and I can still do it. When my niece and nephew were very young and started acting up and wouldn't behave I'd turn my eyelids inside out. It scared the crap out of them and they'd settle down. After that, whenever they wouldn't behave I'd threaten to make my "monster eyes" and they'd behave.

[True Dough]

45. That was a morbid fascination for me as a kid

I couldn't do it, but I'd be transfixed when in the company of someone who could.

[Orrex]

43. Here's another one: I can't see those "hidden" 3D images

Don't waste time telling me the tricks; I've tried them all to no avail.

I'm convinced that the whole thing is a worldwide conspiracy to make me feel foolish, as if I need that kind of help.

[LogDog75]

48. It took me awhile but I was eventually able to

My sister had one of the pictures in her house and whenever I was over I'd try to see the image but couldn't. Finally, after crossing my eyes and slowly relaxing them I was able to see it.

[Wifes husband]

80. I can't see them either.

I don't think anyone can.

[True Dough]

46. Orrex, I guess you could say

the trill is gone, baby! The trill is gone!

[Marthe48]

47. My mom ate all the chocolate off a can of

Chocolate covered peanuts, and put the nuts back in the can on the buffet. Afew days later, our daughter and her fiance stopped by while they were riding a motorcycle. My husband and I were rearranging the back bedroom and didn't immediately come out to the living room to greet them. When we did come out, they were eating the peanuts from the can my Mom had left on the buffet. We were mortified. I managed to get the nuts put away and give them something else. That happened 30 years ago, and we never spilled the beans. And I never will!

[Orrex]

49. Good lord

Who even does that?!?

[Marthe48]

50. I told me friend

and knowing my Mom so well, she had hysterics It was her favorite Myrtle story ever. The can was my Mom's and maybe she thought no one else would have any.

[Duncanpup]

51. I can't wait until the Big beautiful funeral.

[Scrivener7]

52. I don't dry pots and pans before putting them in the cabinet. Just let them air dry and drip for a few minutes.

I'm a rebel.

[CrispyQ]

55. I don't like anyone to touch/grab my toes.

I have no idea where this came from but a boss once gave me a gift cert for a mani/pedi & when I got to the pedi part, after a nice soak in scented water, I said, "I'm good now," & left.

[snowybirdie]

56. I really don't know

the meaning of trill

[CrispyQ]

61. Some people call it rolling your Rs.

You flutter your tongue against the roof of your mouth. Personally, I think trilling is easier to produce with a D sound than an R sound, but Ruffles potato chips cashed in on it with a commercial years ago.

[MIButterfly]

62. I can't snort.

You know, like the sound a pig makes or that some people make when they laugh too hard. I try and try and I just can't do it. Years ago, I had a boyfriend who would laugh every time I tried because I tried so hard. He would ask me why it was so important to me and I said it's because it's something that everybody can do and I can't.

[dlilafae]

63. I suck at whistling

I have to suck wind in, sounding like a third grader, trying. ☺️

[LogDog75]

64. I whistle badly but I wish I could whistle like Roger Whitaker

[UTUSN]

67. Here's mine: I like your posts.

[Orrex]

69. Shame on you! Shame!

[UTUSN]

70. Including this one.

[Solly Mack]

68. My little toes are truly small. Oddly so.

[Orrex]

71. I think that trait was foretold as mythical proof of royalty

All hail!

[Solly Mack]

72. The royal nubbies.

Sounds vaguely dirty.

[Orrex]

73. Hey, don't tell me. I didn't write the prophecy.

[Solly Mack]

74. Can't fight prophecy.

[LudwigPastorius]

75. I joined the International High IQ Society just to meet chicks.

[Attilatheblond]

76. I can no longer snap my fingers

arthritis, I reckon.

But, my daughter did get me some castanets like I had as a child, so that sorta makes up for no snap now.

[OldBaldy1701E]

93. I went through a phase where I could not either.

But that damage was externally caused. It eventually healed.

Nowadays, I can snap my right okay, but my left can be slow to work, or just won't work. What I have pretty much lost is my ability to play guitar. I just cannot hold the strings down for the entire length of a song anymore, or I cannot move them fast enough.

[Eko]

81. There is no food I don't like.

But I don’t like some combinations. I like pickles and hamburgers but I don’t like pickles on hamburgers.

[oberle]

82. I only have 4 toes

on each foot.

[Orrex]

85. How do you count to 20?

[bamagal62]

84. I can smell things

That other people can’t. My daughter says I’m
A “super smeller”. Not sure if that’s a thing. It’s not always a good skill to have. 😂😂😂

[Harker]

86. It's a thing, alright, and my wife has it.

She says "stinks" more often then I use the words "a" and "the" combined.

I can't smell ant farts. I can't smell Lily's breath from the other side of the house. I don't know when someone's pumping gas at the Citgo station downtown.

[bamagal62]

88. lol!

I can tell when someone just passing by me has a sinus infection. Seriously.
I can smell water. So, I usually know about a leak before it presents itself.
I think my son has the same thing,
When he was little, he and his best friend had identical Batman costumes that they wore ALL the time. Occasionally they would take them off. Then, when he wanted to find his , and put it back on, he’d smell them both and say, “yep, that’s mine!”.
I have to buy everything unscented as smells can overwhelm me.

[Harker]

89. Every superhero has at least one exceptional sense.

I'd never thought about heredity having a role in it, so thanks for leading me to a new line of inquiry!

On balance, if you don't mind me asking, is your heightened sense a positive thing or problematic?

My dear departed first wife lost her sense of smell from injuries suffered in an automobile accident. Once a year or so, though, a flower's fragrance would come through, and it was a cause for great joy.

[bamagal62]

92. I think it's more of a

Positive thing than a negative one.
The only thing negative is when there are lots of smells together in one place such as the first floor of a department store with all of the perfumes or the candle section of a novelty shop….a mixture of smells is tough. I didn’t realize for the longest time that everyone didn’t smell to the degree I do. So, it seems normal to me.
